Summer 2010

It's a good thing because in North Carolina...summer comes early! This week is a testament to that statement. I've already packed away pretty much all our long sleeved shirts and pants. The winter coats were gone a while ago. Closed toed shoes? Gone weeks ago.

(Not that Ella ever actually wore pants this winter, but they were in her drawer. For suggestive purposes I suppose.)

Catching lightning bugs with the kids, going to the pool, popsicles...ah, the list on summer delights goes on and on.

And since I love a good list...why stop there?

Things I love about Summer:The beachFlip flops (if only I could get Ezra to get over his irrational fear of them. Weird, I know.)Grilling outFamily vacationCook Out milkshakes (Reeses cup is my personal favorite)SprinklersEating out of our gardenSundressesUnscheduled days

Of course, this summer will be a little bit more eventful than normal for us. Perhaps another list is in order.

Summer 2010 things I am excited for:Going to Africa for the first timeBringing home our new sonBecoming a family of fiveWelcoming new neice, Maddy, and friends Josh and Kristen's little NatalieWelcoming new brother and sister from Ghana, names still to be determined
